some output from ps wauxf: for smbd, all the processes are around this value: parky 1963 3.5 0.1 7488 3452 ? R 07:37 15:41 \_ smbd -D for ldap, all of the processes are around this value: ldap 6150 0.0 0.1 75548 5068 ? S 14:45 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/slapd -u ldap
we have about 30 of each process running right now. If I understand this correctly, it means that I have 30 ldap processes that are each using 75 MB of virtual memory, which would be 2.25 GB virtual memory for all of them. here is the output of cat /proc/sys/vm/bdflush - this seems to indicate that the vm is flushing every 5 seconds as indicated by vmstat? [root@student0 root]# cat /proc/sys/vm/bdflush 40 0 0 0 500 3000 60 0 0 I'll have to wait for downtime this evening to test with ldap down.
